For questions about your Custom Programming call:
Custom Programming of a complex home theater and/or a multi-room
system is one of the most challenging tasks within an audio/video instal-
lation. It involves an intimate knowledge of how the components interact
and exact details on the proper sequences of control.
Only a Complete Control dealer has the requisite experience and training
to quickly and effectively customize a remote control for true automated
operation.
Congratulations on your choice!

MX-900i OWNERS MANUAL
Congratulations!
You’ve purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, the
Complete Control MX-900i. The MX-900i achieves a magnificent combination of
power and flexibility, simplifying and automating operation of even the most
complex system.
One Touch Blue Backlighting
Simply press the LIGHT button to backlight the screen.
Integrated Sound Signaling
The MX-900i incorporates a small speaker for beeps. Anytime you press a
button, the MX-900i signals that it has understood your command with a
beep sound.
Custom Labeled Buttons
The MX-900i is equipped with a bright easy to read LCD screen which
labels the six buttons to the right of the screeen. These button labels
change based on what you are watching or listening to. Thus, if you have
selected Watching TV, you will see a list of buttons that are useful to that
activity, while if you select DVD, the buttons will control the DVD.
LIGHT Button
Press the Light button on the
side of the MX-900i to backlight
the LCD display and all of the
buttons.

MX-900i OWNERS MANUAL
Optional RF “No Rules” Operation
In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the MX-900i can
control your system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment.
3. The MRF-350i’s built-in Front Blaster sends commands
to
4. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to the
Infrared sensors on the front panels of
your
components. The Flashers relay com-
mands
to components out of sight of the MRF-
350i’s Front Blaster. The flashers plug in
to
the MRF-350i’s rear flasher line outputs
2. The RFX-250i RF Sensor can be
freely
Either the MRF-350i or the RFX-250i RF base station is compatible with
the MX-900i. Both incorporate RF addressing. RF Addressing gives you
the ability to control equipment locations throughout your home, even if
they are concealed in other rooms or are behind closed doors.
1. The MX-900i sends radio waves
in every direction, so you don’t
have to point the remote any-
more!
Installing Batteries
Open the battery cover by pressing
the release and pulling back the
cover on the back of the control.
Remove the cover.
Observe the + and - polarity
indications inside the battery
compartment.
Place the four AAA batteries into
their positions in the battery com-
partment observing the + and -
polarity indicators on the batteries.
Now, replace the battery cover by
inserting the hinged end in first,
then snapping the cover back into
place.

Programming the MX-900i
The MX-900i is programmed via a Windows PC equipped with a USB port
(programming cable included), using our proprietary software, MX-900i
Editor. You can download this software from our website:
www.universalremote.com
Basic setup takes only a few minutes with this software. However, to fully
automate an audio/video system the user must have a detailed knowledge
of each component, you the user (and your preferences) and how the
system is connected and operated. We highly recommend that you use a
professional audio/video installer to program your MX-900i so you will be
able to enjoy all the benefits of the MX-900i as well as one touch operation
via macros.

MX-900i OWNERS MANUAL
Selecting a New “Activity”
The MX-900i’s WATCH and LISTEN buttons display the activities you can
control with your MX-900i. When you want to watch something else (a
DVD movie, a videotape or an HDTV broadcast), simply press the WATCH
button and select the new activity. When you want to listen to the radio or
to a CD, touch the LISTEN button and select what you would like to listen to.
Your installer will have programmed the button you pressed to totally config-
ure your system to watch or listen to whatever you selected. Now, the screen
will change, and all of the LCD buttons will be reconfigured to give you full
control of your system while watching or listening to your selection!
Press either of the PAGE buttons to see any other available choices.
PAGE DISPLAY
At the bottom of the LCD screen, the
page display informs you if there are
other pages of buttons available.
When you press the WATCH button,
you can see the most frequently used
activities you have for watching the
sources in your system.
When you press the LISTEN button,
you can see the most frequently used
activities you have for listening in
your system.
Using the MX-900i to Control an “Activity”
Once you’ve selected a new activity, the MX-900i displays the title of the
activity at the top of the screen. Below the title, the LCD displays the cus-
tomized names of any special features you need for the activity. All the
hard buttons of the MX-900i have now changed to functions optimized for
this activity.
The Title displays
what activity you
can control.
The Channel and
Previous Channel
buttons will change
channels when you
have selected an
activity like Watch
CABLETV or
Watch SAT TV.
The Number keypad
will enter numbers for
the activity you’ve
selected. Thus, for
watching Cable TV,
you use the number
keypad to enter chan-
nel numbers, while
when listening to CD,
the number keypad
enters track numbers.
The LCD button
labels describe
special features
for this activity.
The transport buttons
(Play, Stop, Skip-, Skip+,
FF, REW and Pause)
operate when the select-
ed activity requires them
(for example, if you
watch CABLETV with a
TiVo type of DVR, these
buttons will control the
built-in DVR, while if
you are watching a
DVD, these buttons will
control the DVD player).
The Volume and
Mute buttons always
control the sound
regardless of what
screen is displayed.
Press either of the
PAGE buttons to see
any other available
choices.
The 4 way cursor
buttons enable you
to navigate on
screen guides and
menus with ease.
